America's Special Birthday Celebration: 250th!

Celebrate America's big birthday bash this Independence Day at our KOA in West Yellowstone! Independence Day Weekend (July 3–5, 2026) is also a National Park Fee-Free weekend, making it the perfect time to explore Yellowstone before or after the festivities.

We're packing the long weekend with classic campground fun and family-friendly activities on site, including a Junior Ranger Passport kickoff for kids, crafts, scavenger hunts, old-fashioned games, and a patriotic parade. Guests can enjoy a pancake breakfast for purchase, join in all-American field day games and creative craft stations, and end each evening gathered around the campfire with s'mores. The celebration wraps up Sunday with a thank-a-ranger card activity and a Care Camp clean-up challenge, creating a festive and meaningful holiday weekend in the great outdoors near Yellowstone National Park.
